Pitchfork Music Festival 2018, By the Numbers

The glorious but exhausting experience of attending a great music festival is difficult to put into words, let alone numbers. But, taking a page from our writers’ recent number-crunching on the festival industry at large, we decided to break down a few key metrics on this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival, set for July 20-22 at Chicago’s Union Park. Below you’ll find geeky stats and fun facts about our 42 performers and, well, you. Based on crowd surveys taken at last year’s edition, it became clear that for many attendees, Pitchfork Music Festival has been something of an annual pilgrimage. And we hope it stays that way. See you this July!
